Thank you guys.

@ekipage: don't worry, I know I'm more comfortable building dioramas or bases than painting.
In fact it is something I need to work on as I clearly postpon on painting by building...

I understand the feeling.
If you're like me, I don't finish projects, most of the time, because I didn't succeed to achieve the level of quality I hoped.
But I started to realised (even if I...

Thanks for the feedbacks guys.

I finished the first paint pass on the diorama (except for the ramping vine which only recieved a base color).

Nice sculpt, and AMAZING paint job so far.

Impressive result man. Do you plan to add some colors/decals on it?

I can totally see this ork boss on the cover of a white dwarf!
And thoses rackham band looks soooo good.

This is already looking epic. Nice work on this one.

Like my camarads, I'm hypnotized by those eyes. Brilliant.

I'm always amazed by you talent to build minis from cardboard. And now you're going to create a functional one... I'm looking forward to see more.

I totally forgot about this character... I guess I need to rewatch the show.

Anyway, nice kitbash, pretty close to the reference. Bravo.

Really good one, the lights are sublimes.

Another top notch realisation.

Nice work on the space marine. Freehand is hard but I think you nailed it on this one.

Thanks SaintToad, I'm glad it catch your interest.

Painting is still on the way.

I laughed way too much to this. :laugh:

Nice progress!

Thanks, but I have to be honest here, I just stole the idea from someone else because I found it sooooo cooool:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldar/comments/j9535o/wip_exodite_farseer_for_my_ynnari/

That's a serious program you have here!

Agree with gorb, they all looks pretty good.

I'm looking forward to see more.

Great work on the marine!

Regarding the glowing effect ont he eyes, I think what gorb meant, is expand the red glow and inscriease the contrast a bit by enhencing the white highlight on the edge...

This new space hulk display base looks amazing. I'm looking forward to see more of it.

Georgous mini, and outstanding paint job so far. The bear is amazing, and the ice looks so real. I'm looking forward to see the barbarian painted.

Don't worry about beeing able to transmit your imagination man, your busts looks soooo alive, it's outrageous.
And the eyes... they say the eyes is the reflexion of the soul. Well your minis...

Thank you guys, I'm glad you like it.
I sure do enjoy working on it.

@Darthmarsh: yes it is a GW mini, two actually.
The head is from the Eldar's Farseer, and the body is from Alarith Stonemage....

Everything looks good. I especially like the guns.

Totally agreed. Nice job.

I love it! Great job.

Nice result for a speed paint.

Thank you BAM.

As I said before, priming the whole diorama in black was just a control step at this point.
In fact, it help me with the next steps as I don't get distracted by the multipications...

Nice start on the banner. Looks promising.

Thanks!

No water on this one. But grass for sure, and some vegetation too.

My plan is to add some kind of ramping vine, growing on the blad, on which I'll be able to attach the farseer for him...

I understand your frustration on the nmm, definitively not something easy to master.
The leather though looks amazing.

So rotten and rusted. Nice! And good luck for the contest.

I wasn't fully happy with the display of the scene.
The main ruin looked like it was placed in the middle of the scene and, on a second thought, surounding it of walls seemed weird.

As I look...

This project was really cool, I watched the video just yesterday and was blown away as how many minis was painted in such a small period.

Nice mini, fits perfectly in the army!

You really building some strong sculpting skills. Nice one.

Outstanding!

I love the pose, really dynamic.

Not so sure about the birdy head though... maybe adding horns to it? (looks a little too small I think).

Just my 2ct.

I love your style. Really nice minis!

You're not a man, you're a factory!

AWESOME work mate.

Beautiful colors and stunning freehand. Well done!

Yes it is.

Here is some new photos with the two parts assembled, and some progress too:

It took me some time, but I finally make a plan for the diorama.
Initially I tought about doing some kind of collapsed bridge or structure, but eventually change...

Wow, I love it. especially the chrome parts, which are bluffing.

This is taking shape nicely.

Nice OSL on the sister, it really give some character to the figure.

And nice start on the NMM.

I'm always amazed how you manage to add so much character to your minis when we,the crowd, struggle to do a decent paint. Outstanding work as usual.

Amazing work on the metallic armor. Bluffing.

Well done man. this first cast looks amazing!

I finnaly made up my mind on a diorama.


https://i.imgur.com/J1cMQjU.jpg


The idea is to have the grand prophet levitating on top of a collapse bridge (or some eldar structure in ruin),...

Welcome back! I too am looking forward to see your work.

Sad news man... I'm glad you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Mini looks amazing as always.

This scroll is totally insane!

Also nice lights on the bust.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.


Speaking of new projects, here are the first picts of my eldar grand prophet:

Yes it is. I really love this stuff: easy to use and I love the result.

Nice freehand.

I saw it on instagram. It's mind blowing man. Well done.

I dig your Ogroid Myrmidon. Really cool.

Pretty amazing figure you've done here.
Really match the 2099 A.D. style.

Amazing result. Great job.

Great marines.

And I love the hafling team! Well done.

You really mastered the rust effect.

Long live the rusty squadron!

Nice. It looks even better than the dots.

Interesting to see how you place the underline lights areas before painting the mini.

Stunning work as always.

Nice work on the bust.

Guys at Forge World: Nah, we can't make a Lucius Pattten Imperator Titan, way to complicated.
Blackadder: Hold my beer (martini)!

Hi everyone,

It's been while seen I've post an update here.

Truth is, I didn't have much of a time to paint since the begening of the year.
Mainly because things was crazy at work (too many...

Impressive work. Looks gorgeous once painted!

Thanks guys

And happy holidays to all of you!

I'm looking forward to see the color scheme you'll choose for this giant squig.

I take some serious brush skill to manage to paint so smooth. I'm impressed.

Hi and welcome.

Nice mini indeed.

I would add mat varnish on the brick parts, apart that, it looks really cool.

Thanks Kallfa.

The frozen effect from greenstuffworld is really nice I must say.

That's exactly the effect I was after on my previous ice/fire diorama.

The emperor may be pride of you my child. That one hell of a landraider you have here!

Thank you friends, your nice words are much appreciated.


Although Cyberpunk 2077 is out (which I'm enjoying on PC : not too buggy here), I managed to add some vegetation to the base.
Next step...

Round 2.

Perfect man! Just perfect.

Another excellent black orc. Great job.

Interesting. I'm looking forward to see more of it.

It's sad, but I can totally relate to the feeling.
Just put it away for now and start a new project, maybe, at some point, you will find a purpose to it or some new inspiration.
You can always, if...

O.M.F.G. I didn't know you could do this with milliput. Wow. respect.

I knew it.

I though about it, I had decided to take my time to avoid having the issue again, and yet... I got excited about painting and burnt some steps...

The result was some major gapes...

Thanks people.

@gorb: I always had trouble picturing drawfs living in a desert environement.
Sure they travel, but I always imagine them in a rocky montain area.
Maybe because of the heavy...

I never stop to be amazed by your kitbashing skills.

This is coming along quite nicely. The addition of color surely is an improvement.

I can smell the pestilence from here. "Nice" little army.

So, after some minor refinements and the addition of textures, I primed the base in black, and it turns out better than I would thought.

https://i.imgur.com/r93cJMU.jpg
...

I saw the dio on instagram. So damn good.

Nice start. Already so expressive.

You have you own unique style, and it improve with each new sculpt. Well done.

Small update.

I made some adjustments on the base... cutting some parts to make place for the resculpt of the rocky side.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I actually had an idea of the way to go right after posting the pictures. Always share your work, it's important!

You have mastered the nurgle style my friend. I second Fuentes.

I didn't meant it as a critic. The ork is perfectly fine. And the dark background suits him.
The gobelin is also fantastic as always.

Your testsuo ork have a feeling of dark batman too with just the back primer on it.
I'm looking forward to see how it'll goes with the colors. Great job.

Looks good man. Really dark, but good.

Thanks guys.

Didn't done so much last weeks, I guess I was just too tired by work...

For the base, my constraints are basically the same as for Thinkerbell as it will be displayed under a dome...

impressive work.

I can almost hear them! THey look fantastic.

Agree, the eyes looks really good now. Great job.

It's a 54mm mini (from this KS : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antonioooh/the-lands-of-arran-elves-and-dwarves-ks-exclusive/description)

Those armors looks nice.
And great start on the snail.

Thank you guys.

Unfortunately, my trip to ikea was a dead end since the store is currently closed due to the current situation... I'll have to wait I guess. I'm notin a hurry so not so much of a...

Great start so far. You really start to become an awesome sculptor too.

Thanks for the ideas guys.

Unfortunately I can't really break the trunk due to how it's built in the interior. If I touch it, the whole base won't stand I'm afraid...

My original idea was to...

Nice little squad. Great job.

I love how you manage to make them look so malicious. Really good job!

You're welcome.

I finally reunited the bird with its paws.
I'm happy witht he overall result.

This is gonna be an epic piece to say the least.

Have you made any progress on the base too ?

That looks like a nice idea.

My god! each update blow my mind a little more. Bravo mister, you're a true artist.

It's funny, if you had shown be the arm alone, I would never guessed it's belong to this bust.... more to an ork of something like that.

I use Pebeo Crystal resin with a drop of diluted acrylic paint to teint it.

And for the surface I use Liquitex gloss gel (apply with a wood stick once the resin is dry).

At first it really...

Just add a flag bearer and the unit will be complete. Nice job.

Thanks guys, really appreciate your feedbacks.

I love it. The shields looks really good.

Some stickers altered to match the 'ork way' would be awesome!

This bust is really cool. Great work.

Thank you guys for all your kind words.

The resin have been poured, this turned out pretty well, minus a little scealing issue... But nothing too bad.

The gel isn't curred yet on the photo (and...

Definitively a stargate to an ork world ;) Great work.

So much good projects in the making.

Nice collection of little green guys. Really clean painting.

Really nice textures. I love it!

Great sculpt. Wonderful paint!

Looking good.

I saw the dreadnought diorama on instagram, and it blow my mind. All of your projects are next level lately!

Impressive start!

@Kretcher: I don't really know. I bought it a long time ago.


I found an idea for the base watching the Startrek Discovery (S03 - E01).

From the whole structure down to the smallest details. What an impressive and inspiering work! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant work!

The bird is basically done.


And I started to work on the thinkerbell.

I feel a strong vibe of Roman Lappat's style on this mini. Looks awesome!

Painting with gouache should be intersting indeed. Do you add some layers of varnish after each session to protect the...

Agree with @gorb, looks fantastic.
How much of the interior do you plane to build? Just the cockpit or other areas?

That's the plan but I would like the trunk/branch to not look too alone on the ground, so maybe I'll add some twigs or small trunks too or something in the like.




Yeah, right! No pressure...

GOLD! (oups wrong site ;)).

A true masterpiece. Simply awesome work!

Lol, yeah I see what you mean.

It's kind of sad at the moment though.
Even with the model completely assembled it's feel incomplete to me.
I'm still thinking about what to add to it.

She is, at the same time sexy and disgusting. Great work.

This is coming along nicely.

Perfect.
I think the change of side was the right thing to do as it put the hover bike in perspective whithout th leg beeing in the way?
I love it!

I like the bust. One thing bothers me though. the girl looks too pristine/clean. Maybe a scar or something like this could help with that? Just my two cent.

The new eyes looks way better. great job.

Thanks guys!


@ten: Yes I use some references:


https://www.pinterest.fr/dexter0015/ref-birds/


In fact I think it miss some red on the darker parts.

Such a beast deserves its own assembly shelf for sure!
It such a massive (and exquisite) piece already, for a second I almost forgot about the two cannons that will add to the width once assembled.

Somebody have been busy...
Everything looks nice. I'm looking forward to see the final result on the maccrage terrains, looks promising.

Great job on the coat!

Really great project!
I like the last shot. it feel like an invitation to jump behind her and go for a ride in the distance background.


Also I'm agree with @Kuriboo, one or two small grass...

Shame on you for reminding me I have all this beautiful miniatures on my shelves, looking at me with a sad look, desperate to be painted...


On a more serious note: great start on the oni.

Thank for the explaination! (makes total sense)

That metal mmmmmhhhh... so nice!

I know you mainly paint in TMM, but did you ever try (or consider it) to paint metal in NMM?

Thanks!
I really like this model and I'll try my best to not screw it (no pressure).


Here is some progress on the bird:

Nice conversion!
Agree on the flag though.
Maybe replace it by a pole a little more on the right, based on the ground, like if he is trying to get his arm around it if you know what I mean.

Saw it on instagram, I love the dark and sad mood of it.

Amazing work!

Thank you guys.

No you're right @graishak. I was hoping to achieve an ice effect that mix shinny and mat at the same time (frosty), but altough I made a lot of attempts, I didn't manage to produce...

You really making justice to the sculpt here. Great work.

Your productivity always amaze me ! The mausoleum looks really great. well done.

My my gorb, the background really blend smoothly with the rest. You truly transport us with you in your world on this one.

A true piece of art! too bad for the competition.

The biker girl looks nice too.

Welcome to the forums.

I like the smurf, and LOVE the bust. Already sooo expressive. Well done!

THAT looks like a solid plan for the colors. I can almost pictured it in my mind.

I'm lookinjg forward to see it.

I'm not sure about the light behind the alin though, it would cast to shadow...

Great OSL. Is it inspired by the last scene?

Ok, so based on the photo from Poltergeist, I would approach things like so:


1 - Do not paint all the model with the same color:


If you look closely the undeads on the pictures, the in...

100% agree with @gorb.
Nice update on the cemetery!

Oh boy!
This is unbelievably good. :claply: Well done.

Did you set your mind on a color scheme yet for the hive parts?

Nice collection of minis. And the new one in the making looks already fantastic.

This is progressing pretty nicely. Your NMM looks better and better every time.
I'm starting to learn it myself and struggler way more than you apparently.

Beautifully sad.

Ah ah, so true.


The sculpt is fantastic and the diorama is taking shape nicely.
The marine as absolutely no idea that's coming for him. Brilliant.

disgustingly good. Well done!

This is a tough question ...


I'm not really objective here because I tend to build larger and larger bases (who said dioramas?) For not some many minis so ...
And I have some ideas fro future...

Thanks guys!




The base progress nicely.


I added a second layer of moss, a little thicker and greener, and some vegetations to add some variety.

Nice nice nice. Great job!
